It's the sort of thing children will just get hours of enjoyment from. Love your barn and it just goes to show you don’t need to spend much at all to create a super farmyard setup.

She thinks it is completely hilarious when he hoots at the end and wakes everyone up. I love it for the illustrations. I was thinking, "wax-resist! That sounds amazing!" But now I am thinking Juliet would react like your girls and want to do her own thing as well. The make your own barn with real straw looks right up her alley, though! It looks messy and so much fun. Great ideas, once again. I love Good-Night Owl–In fact, I just bought it for Juliet. She thinks it is completely hilarious when he hoots at the end and wakes everyone up.

The illustrations are really wonderful - I would love to have them on my wall, but the text doesn't quite work - half of it is in rhyme and then the bits that don't rhyme seem very clunky. But the pictures are SO gorgeous that I have still added it to my wishlist! Hi Kristine,
